If you just want to kick back and relax, consider a [http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/schedules/current/index.cfm?route=sea-bi ferry ride] to Bainbridge Island. Its about 35 minutes each way; the charge for pedestrians is $6.50 heading out of Seattle but there's no charge coming back. Just a great way to get out on the water, enjoy the sun, and get great views of Seattle and the Sound (and on a clear day, the Olympics and Mt. Rainier) that you can't get any other way. Feel free to get off at the other end and explore [http://www.seattletravel.com/bainbridge-island-seattle.html Bainbridge Island] if you like, but the ride out and back is revitalizing in and of itself. The Bainbridge Island ferry leaves from downtown Seattle.
